Why Frozen Yogurt Bites Are a Snack-Time Game Changer

Try mixing up different yogurt flavors (Greek or dairy-free both work) and experimenting with various fruit combos for endless variety, keeping snack time exciting all week long!
Prep Made Simple: How to Make Frozen Yogurt Bites
Begin by prepping your favorite fruits—think strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and grapes. Chop into small, kid-friendly pieces for even distribution and easy snacking. For quick and even chopping, a tool like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper can save loads of time, making the process safer for little hands.
Next, line a baking sheet or tray with a sheet from the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, ensuring your yogurt bites pop right off after freezing—no sticking or breaking!
Now, grab your favorite yogurt (Greek, flavored, or plant-based all work beautifully). In a bowl, mix the yogurt with a touch of honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness (optional), then gently fold in the chopped fruit.
Quick Assembly and Customization
To shape your bites, drop small spoonfuls of the yogurt-fruit mixture onto the lined tray. For perfectly blended, creamy texture, blend yogurt and fruit together in a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender before spooning—especially great for younger kids or for a smoother finish.
If your family enjoys snack-time on the go, freeze the bites and store them in a Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers for a durable, leak-proof option.
Feel free to roll bites in granola, mini chocolate chips, or coconut flakes for extra flavor and texture before freezing.

For a festive party platter, mix different fruit colors and yogurt flavors, and let kids pick and choose their favorites. Consider serving alongside fresh-cut fruit or with a delicious dipping sauce for even more excitement.
